Origin and history
The seigneurial chapel of Favières is a 15th century religious building, located in the village of Brecé, Mayenne (Land of the Loire). It is located within a private property, in the so-called La Favière, integrated into the enclosure of a seigneury attested from the twelfth century. This historic site also includes a strong house and moat, remains of medieval defensive organization.
The chapel was listed as historical monuments by order of 29 October 1991. This protection extends to the entire old fort house and its moat, highlighting the heritage importance of the site. The available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) confirm its status as a listed monument, without specifying any later developments or restorations.
Located at 5331 Faviere, 53120 Brecé, the chapel falls under the code Insee 53042, attached to the department of Mayenne and to the region Pays de la Loire. Its access and conditions of visit are not detailed in the sources consulted, but its placement in a private property suggests restrictions of access. The site is referenced in the Mérimée and Clochers de France bases, indicating active heritage monitoring.
